AMERICANS PREFER POLITICAL NEUTRALITY FOR MILITARY

Some 83% of respondents said the military "should remain politically neutral and not take a side in domestic policy debates"

"What we have going on right now is literally domestic terrorism in Chicago," #ToddBlanche, the No. 2 #DOJ official, lied on FoxNews.
#JBPritzker has accused #Trump of trying to foment violence to justify further militarization, & his state has sued to stop the deployment. A federal judge Monday permitted the deployment to proceed for now. Another federal judge blocked the deployment to Portland.
Trump has threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct to sidestep any #CourtOrders blocking him….
I mean read this, the Trump administration in an official document is saying that Americans won't ever pick crops and America won't have enough food to eat because of ICE raids! prospect.org/politics/tru...

Every time a MAGA voter says, "This is not the Trump I voted for", my reply is, "This is exactly the Trump you voted for. Because Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do, but mentally you just filtered out all the evil, crazy, stupid initiatives he presented throughout the campaign. He even published his entire plan in the document "Project 2025", but you chose not to read it. YOU chose to walk blindly off the cliff, because the tour guide was a great entertainer. YOU did that."
One of the most insidious ways in which oppression functions against marginalised people is to make you question yourself on whether you're the problem for demanding dignity.
I don't know who else needs to hear this today, but no, you are not the problem for demanding respect.
Whether you're being objectified, dismissed, misgendered, demonised, pathologised or simply ignored: you deserve better, and you are right to demand that of the world.
A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops “shooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply “standing there flipping them off.”
This blatant abuse of power demands accountability. #BlueCrew #ICE #CivilRights #ProtestRights #UseOfForce
